Consulting Process

Let the Experts Help You

Working with MimicMED Consultancy Services

MimicMED will work closely with your institution to help you identify the main goals and objectives in what you are trying to achieve with your robotic surgery program.

Our consultancy service packages might include the following:

Hospital Needs Analysis: looking at current and future goals of your robotic surgery program

Robotic Surgery Training Program Specification

Program Setup and Implementation

Monitoring and Continuous Improvement

While the principles of training surgical teams are common to all programs, objectives do vary from institution to institution. Our approach is to adapt tried and tested methodologies to meet the specific requirements each unique institution.

The key drivers that will impact program development time and costs are:

The number of specialties involved in the robotic program and their current and future procedural objectives

The number and type of surgical staff that will be included in the training program

Whether a GME program is also running at the institution

Whether the institution will use pre-existing proficiency benchmarks or wishes to develop its own

How the institution integrates simulation into its credentialing and privileging protocols

The dV-Trainer® is not a product manufactured, sold, or distributed by Intuitive Surgical, Inc

Training programs on the use of the dV-Trainer® and Xperience Team Trainer simulators are provided by Mimic Medical Education and Development LLC, a Florida limited liability company dba MimicMED™. Although simulators are gaining widespread acceptance and in most cases should enhance a physician’s readiness to perform robotic surgery under the direction of a fully credentialed attending surgeon, MimicMED’s training programs pertain only to the use of the simulators and therefore do not of themselves constitute either specific medical training nor the credentialing of a physician for use of the da Vinci® Surgical System or any other robotic surgical system. The determination of a physician’s readiness to perform robotic surgery is solely the responsibility of the hospital, surgical center, or medical facility where the procedure takes place, as to which neither MimicMED nor its affiliates has any role. The skill competency of a particular physician and any procedure-specific training needs are matters that are determined solely by each treating hospital, surgical center, or medical facility on its own behalf!
